The Odra brace for knee osteoarthritis has been designed to provide symptomatic treatment for osteoarthritis of the medial femorotibial compartment.
Morphological
An orthotist produces the knee brace either by overmoulding or using digital scanning equipment to ensure a perfect fit over the patient’s lower limb.
Unique and patented mode of action
Developed by PROTEOR and patented worldwide, the Odra orthosis improves knee mobility by maintaining a gap between the upper and lower leg bones.. This reduction in intra-articular pressure relieves the pain that occurs, if the cartilage is absent, when these bones rub against each other.
The name of the Odra orthosis describes how it works: it is an Orthosis that uses Distraction andRotation to relieve Arthritis.
Medial distraction: When the leg is extended, during the stance phase, the medial hinge elongates the orthosis to produce a DISTRACTION between the femur and the tibia. The effect of this elongation is to reduce the pressure on the painful compartment of the knee.
